C11 or C10?

Post by N1MID »

Hi all. I am starting to tune my RF board and noticed a conflict between the iBOM and the schematic. C11 in the iBOM shows a 68p cap and nothing in C10. The schematic says C10 gets the 68p and C11 gets nothing... Do I misunderstand? I am thinking I do as I get very little power out on 20m and installed 68p on C11. iBOM and schematic clips attached.

C10 and C11 are in parallel, so it doesn't matter what slot one places the 68pF capacitor.

Look at the very end of https://dl2man.de/2-trusdx-assembly/ regarding different bands for an explanation why Manuel has this option available

Same here, only abt 2 w. I found a bad or wrong capacity 68pF, replaced it and reduced 2 windings from L11. Now tuning was possible and got easy over 5 watts at 12.3 Volt.
